Not totally :-)

To that point I totally agree with you, but I think the algorithm that PVAstrumento uses is the right thing we need: Try to find each puzzle piece of audio belonging to each piece of video (or so ...) by searching for the right PTS and put them together so that the resulting stream is 100% sync.
The packet size and stuff is another issue - these may vary between the optimal stream needed for DVBs Playback and for Windows cutting or what ever !
But these are 2 different things.
I guess the code from PVAstrumento could be easily adapted to the needed packet size and stuff...

I still hope Wiljo will at least contribute pieces of his code to the project...

So long...

Martin.
